Where this sits
In Tokyo Riki's cutting scissors lineup the Tokyo Riki Kocho Cobalt Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range band, priced above the Tokyo Riki Hakucho SUPER Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kocho Cobalt series covers three blade lengths — 6.5”, 7.0”, and 7.2” — giving stylists a choice of reach within a consistent cobalt steel and offset-handle build. Tokyo Riki has made scissors in Itabashi, Tokyo since 1946, and the Cobalt designation reflects the material published for this line.
Longer blades in the 7.0” and 7.2” range suit slide cutting, one-length work, and stylists who prefer to pull through a section in fewer strokes. The 6.5” offers a mid-length option with the same construction. All three variants share the offset handle and convex blade geometry.
For current pricing across the three lengths, visit Hasamiya 884 or see the Tokyo Riki brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
These are long-blade scissors, so think about how you cut before choosing a length. The 7.0 and 7.2 inch options suit slide cutting and one-length work where you pull through a section in fewer strokes; the 6.5 is a more familiar mid-length. Cobalt steel, offset handle, and convex blade are shared throughout.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
